Hi Everyone, With my pool, and where I live it snows, and the temperature can drop to as low as -20c or -4f. Is it better to drain it or leave the water in it over the fall/winter/spring season? I've drained it the last two years I've owed this pool. Such a pain in the *** to do every year...

Hi Partsman, Are you saying so I'm clear you cut off the GFCI cord end and replaced it with a regular cord end? Is the cord/pool pump plugged into a GFCI receptacle on your house now instead? Is it plugged into a GFCI Protected circuit from your home? If not, I strongly encourage you to unplug...

Instead of digging, why not bring in few yards of appropriate material and spread it on top. Like others said the pool is a temporary structure.

Hi, A question about the pool math calculator. I entered all the information correctly about my pool, and essential starting from not setup to the target I'm trying to reach. So for example CYA 0 to 40 add so many pounds of CYA to reach a value of 40. My question how accurate is that amount...
